when using main oven above 150 degrees it blows the consumer box could this be a short on a element my cooker is a creda double oven with ceramic hob

From my experince, when an element 'goes' it is common for either the main fuse or RCD (if you have one fitted) to trip. Normally, the element would then not work, or continue to trip your circuits (if still shorted). Your issue sounds a bit strange, but I agree with your thoughts and suspect the element has developed a shorting fault that only happens as it heats up.
